Before their first global assignment, Paul and Angela were pastors at Bethel Assembly of God church in Baltimore. They went to Spain in 1994 to plant churches, then became regional directors in 2011. After turning those responsibilities over to other people, in 2023 they began a new assignment in Spain. They started the School of Ministry at International Church of Barcelona as a satellite campus of Continental Theological Seminary.

Paul and Angie had chosen to live without a car in the bustling city of Barcelona. Daily travel was on foot, metro, or bus, so they looked into thousands of faces every day, praying for their needs without knowing their names. They shared Jesus as often as possible. In April, they received a car from Speed The Light. Having a vehicle is a joy and helps reduce expenses. You can be sure they still share Jesus at every opportunity.

The church they attend, ICB, is growing exponentially. Each Sunday there are people waiting in lines out the door and often around the corner for the 4 gatherings. Many times people walk in from off the street just to find out what is going on. What joy to see people from the community attending and accepting Christ. A generous member donated his industrial building for use as a larger facility. The renovation will cost several million, but in faith they have already begun renovating it into a church.

God opened a wonderful ministry opportunity for the months of June through July. Caleb and Angelina Olsen (whom Victory also supports) asked Paul and Angie to serve as interim pastors in Florence, Italy. The Olsens are traveling stateside to itinerate.

Please pray:

For the church in Florence where Paul and Angie are filling in. Also pray that the Olsens would raise the needed funds during their two months away.

For funds to complete renovations at the new church building in Barcelona.

For the School of Ministry in Barcelona, as preparations begin for the fall semester.
